    The Midwest Ride-In is the world's largest vintage and classic snowmobile event. If you love snowmobiling, the Midwest Ride-In belongs on your bucket list.
    The Midwest Ride-In (formerly the Waconia Ride-In) takes place on the last weekend in January at ERX Motorpark in Elk River, Minnesota.
    The event features a trail ride, judged show, swap meet, old school snocross race and much more. Bring your sleds for a fun day of riding with family and friends and check out some amazing vintage and classic snowmobiles.
    In this video, we take a flashback to the 2023 "Triple Wars" Midwest Ride-In, and Valdi Stefanson takes us around the event to check out some amazing collector sleds, including a coveted PDC racer. We'll see some beautiful restored Hirth Honker, Kohler, and Rupp triple cylinder engines, as well as Arctic Cat and Boa Ski coffin racers, a collection of 1965 Lil' Andy snowmobiles, an antique 1956 Polaris snow machine and much more.
    Don't miss the 2024 Midwest Ride-In, Jan. 26 and 27 at ERX - www.mwvss.com/.

      Basically. Around 2 or 3 inches in my area. About an hour north there's Around 5 inches but enough in the ditches to play

      The main reason I gave up on sleds. We definitely don’t get the amount of snow we used to get in the 70’s - 90’s even early 2000’s. And then if we did get some fairly decent snow the trails would be beat to hell by the end of the weekend.

      Amen to that. We burnt through money to the tune of ten times the original price of a 40 year old 340 machine just trying to drag race in 340 trail classes in little barn yard events. But I have no regrets. The good times I spent with my daughter driving were well worth it. 👍
